I am able to find back this ID in the source files (but I am not a programmer), so it looks as if this is not the reason why the driver doens't get loaded. Nevertheless, the 'automagic' part of udev seems to have abandoned me:) > > Any idea's to proceed on this? > > Thanks in advance, > Luc Boschmans. A couple of quick things: Your build doesn't look complete. Did you manually run "make menuconfig" and pick whatever modules you believed were relevant? If so, then don't do that - do a fresh checkout, and only unset the firedtv module. Also, please provide the dmesg output after the bootup, so we can see if the driver loaded at all.
